Slate repair fixings for all types of natural slate. A quick and simple solution to an everyday slating problem
Hall Hooks Slate repair fixings for all types of natural slate. A quick and simple solution to an everyday slating problem
Pro Tip: Fit the clip to the batten before offering up the cut tile. Getting the wire wrapped and positioned is easier when you can see what you are doing, then slide the tile into the waiting jaw.
Kro Clips are used wherever cut tiles require mechanical fixing to satisfy BS 5534 requirements. This includes hip and valley intersections on both concrete and clay tile roofs, perimeter details around roof windows, skylights and dormer cheeks, verge tiles cut to width, and any location where tile cuts result in pieces too small to nail conventionally. The clips suit most interlocking concrete tiles and many plain tile profiles. Roofers working on new builds, re-roofs and repair work all encounter situations where these clips provide the compliant fixing solution.

Not suitable for: Kro Clips are designed for tile roofs and will not work with slate, fibre cement or metal roofing materials. They are also not intended as a substitute for standard nail fixing on full tiles that retain their factory nail holes.
Installing Kro Clips requires no special tools. The stainless steel wire is pliable enough to wrap by hand around standard timber battens while retaining sufficient spring to grip securely. Position clips before or during tile laying for easiest access, particularly at valleys where tile courses build up quickly.
Wrap the 380mm wire around the roof batten, twisting or hooking to secure
Position the spring jaw where the cut tile edge will sit
Offer up the cut tile and slide the edge into the jaw opening
Press the tile down to engage the spring grip
Check the tile is held firmly before continuing with adjacent courses
Do Kro Clips meet BS 5534 mechanical fixing requirements?
Yes. Kro Clips provide a mechanical connection between the cut tile and the batten structure, satisfying the BS 5534 requirement for mechanical fixing of all tiles in exposed locations and at roof perimeters.
How many cut tile clips do I need for a typical roof?
A standard domestic roof with two hips and a valley might use 20 to 30 clips. Complex roofs with multiple dormers, roof windows or bay features will need more. A box of 50 typically covers one to two straightforward re-roofs.
Will these clips work with any tile profile?
Kro Clips work with most concrete and clay interlocking tiles and many plain tile profiles. The 12mm jaw depth accommodates standard tile thicknesses. Very thin tiles or unusual profiles should be tested with a sample clip before committing to a full installation.
Kro Clips are manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless spring steel, providing long-term durability in exposed roofing environments. The wire section measures 380mm to accommodate standard UK batten gauges, while the spring jaw provides 30mm of contact length with a 12mm grip depth and 16mm back depth. The spring steel construction maintains consistent clamping pressure throughout the service life of the roof.
